OUR CORE VALUES

-  Loving God in Worship:  We are deeply committed to personal and corporate worship. Our public worship services are Spirit-led, Christ-honoring, and biblically-based (Psalm 34:3; John 4:23-24.)

-  Loving People in Fellowship:  We are deeply committed to providing opportunities for our members to develop meaningful, growing, and lasting relationships (Acts 2:45-46; Acts 5:42; Ephesians 4:32.)
-  ​Serving People in Ministry:  We are deeply committed to enlisting, equipping, and releasing each follower of Christ in our fellowship to “do the work of the ministry” (Ephesians 4:11-12.)  

-  Sending People in Mission:  We are deeply committed, as individuals and a congregation, to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8; 20:24.)

WE BELIEVE

  • All activities and ministries ought to be God-centered and God-honoring.​​
  • The Gospel of Christ should be central in all our teachings and ministries.
  • All decisions, ministries and activities must be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit because apart from God we can do nothing.​
  • The Word of God is our final authority and the lens through which we view all of life and test all things.
  • Our relationship with God and others ought to be marked by humility, integrity and authenticity.
  • People matter to God so they should matter to us.
  • Everyone needs a place to belong, to be cared for, and to grow. We believe that this is best found in small groups.
  • Spiritual and emotional healing is an essential part of our walk with God and transformation into Christ’s image.
  • Everyone is a “minister’ and should steward his or his spiritual gifts and live out our Lord’s commands in complete obedience. 
  • The Great Commission should affect all aspects of our personal and community life.
  • Outreach to our community, nation, and world ought to be in word AND in deed).
  • Churches ought to be multiplying through church planting.

OUR GOALS

With God’s help, we envision our church accomplishing the following:
-  Doubling our present worship attendance with a growing percentage coming from the un-churched in our community. 

-  To be a fully active church with 100% involvement in service.

-  To invest ourselves in world missions: locally, nationally and internationally.
